ZigBee Wireless Swimming Trainer

A coach can use this ambitious project to train swimmers to qualify for the Olympics. The affordable system monitors, transmits, and records multiple swimmers’ movements and speeds using a combination of Freescale devices, including an MC33794 e-field device and resources from an MC13192 SARD board—an MC9S08GT60 microcontroller, an MMA1260D z-axis accelerometer, an MMA66261Q x- and y-axis accelerometer, and an MC13192 ZigBee wireless controller.
